hours, each separate incident will be recorded as`a separate violation. The number of records inspected will depend on the drivers employed and the carrier's past compliance record in this category. In a terminal with only a few drivers, all records will be inspected. In larger terminals, records will be selected at random to provide a "representative sample". If the sample indicates there is a pattern of noncompliance, additional records will be inspected. Record -Keeping. Motor carriers are required by State and federal regulations to keep records showing the number of hours a driver is on duty, driving, off duty or resting in a sleeper berth. The regulations also specify how long the records are to be kept on file by the motor carrier. Time keeping records may be time sheets or cards,, _log books, or even companyrdesigned forms which contain all required information, depending on which regulations apply to that motor carrier's operation. The inspector will look at these records to see if they are properly filled out, if records are on file for all drivers, and if the records are retained for at least the required length of time. Pull Notice .Program Participation. Employers of any driver who drives a vehicle requiring the driver to possess a Class A (Class 1) or Class B (Class 2) driver's license, or requiring the driver to possess a California Special Driver certificate must participate in the Department of Motor Vehicles (DKV) Pull Notice Program.

Driving Prof iciencir Records. Section 1234 (b), 13 CCR, requires motor carriers to keep records of the different types and combinations of vehicles their employees are capable of driving as specified in 13 CCR 1229. The inspector will look at drivers records to determine if these records are on file and are current. Vehicle and Equipment Condition. The inspector will inspect some or all of the vehicles at each terminal. As with the drivers records, the number inspected will depend on the size of the operation and whether individual vehicles or pieces of equipment must be certified (such as school buses, GPPVs, flammable liquid cargo tanks, hazardous waste hauler vehicles; etc.) The vehicle or equipment inspections will be what the CHP calls "in-depth`'.
